Im trying to remove the harmonic balancer from my 1988 Lesabre but it doesnt have the 3 slots for the bolts to remove it. I dont know if this is an after market balancer or what. How can I get it off

On the 88 3800 V6 this is a slip fit... There is no need for a puller... You should be able to tap it off with a rubber mallet or possibly a brass hammer..

Be very careful with the brass hammer... And when you replace the balancer consider replacing the Crank Sensor as well( for an 88 you'll need an alignment tool )...
